Klowns in my Koffee

Missing two days of posting feels like forgetting one's child in the median strip of six lane highway. I've been plagued by connection problems, viruses, and issues with Blogger. Numbers one and three are now history but virus scanning and elimination continues.

I was delighted a couple of days ago to hear from Kim Barron, the queen of creativity. Those of you who know Kim know that she is the MacGyver of household projects. She has a new blog http://baronesscolor.blogspot.com/ where she shares her secrets of Shibori. Her blog includes the link to her Etsy site, a terrific source for high-quality homemade goods.

Blogs are busting out all over. A lapsed blogger now again in the fold has reactivated his blog, Digital Satori http://digitalsatori.net/blog/. Fellow Porkus refugees will recognize an old friend, savvy and erudite observer, and perhaps proof that there are indeed old souls in the karmic sense.

My eight-year-old and fresh second grade graduate has started a blog to record his activities this summer. It is a work in process and was unfortunately scuttled after the first post due to our technical difficulties. Grandma and Grandpa, look for developments over the next few days on Noah Way http://noah-way.blogspot.com/. My five-year-old daughter -- eternally competitive and demanding her fair share when confronted with all the unequal servings that the world has to offer -- wants her own blog now. Her chosen title: Princess Potatohead. I have resisted thus far.

Finally, the second most famous person with whom I attended high school has a blog documenting his compelling musical interest and exceptional career. It's a story with a few twists and ironies for which we must say, like the next episode of Batman, please tune in tomorrow.
